Quotes to Note

It's not the FUNDS that are Lacking for Embryonic Stem Cell Research.

It's the Results.

Successful human trials/treatments using Embryonic Stem Cells: 0
Successful human trials/treatments/cures using Adult Stem Cells: 72

FDA approved human trials using embryonic stem cells -- 0 [1 in 2009]
FDA approved clinical trials using adult stem cells -- 1,181

Embryonic stem cells have been used in ANIMAL trials for 25 years.

After 25 years, and many thousands of dead mice and rats, ESCs have not been shown safe enough for trials in humans, mainly because of their propensity to form tumors (grow uncontrollably), and because of their rejection problems.

Abortion & Substance Abuse (AJDA,6/04)

More than 20 medical studies have shown that women suffer from abortion, and the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse just published the latest study of post-abortive women. Women who aborted had rates of substance abuse that were approximately twice as high as those of women who chose to give birth to their babies.

Science continues to provide evidence that abortion is extremely harmful to the mother as well as fatal to the unborn child. An increasing number of states are passing legislation that requires women be informed of the health risks they face when undergoing an abortion.

To see an example of the measures states are passing, check out FRC's State Model Legislation booklet below.
